Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Aquafaba Meringue Kisses. Items include: Aquafaba Granulated sugar

Aquafaba 1/2 cup (120ml)
Granulated sugar 1 cup (200g)

Take note
Always be careful when using hot ovens, and remember to keep an eye on your meringues to prevent burning.

1

Separate the liquid gold

Pour a can of chickpeas into a sieve over a bowl. Drain the chickpeas and reserve the liquid, which is called aquafaba. You'll need about 1/2 cup (120ml) of aquafaba for this recipe.

2

Whip it, whip it good

Pour the aquafaba into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Whip the aquafaba for about 5 minutes, or until it forms stiff peaks and looks like fluffy white clouds.

3

Sweeten the deal

Slowly add 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar to the whipped aquafaba, one tablespoon at a time. Continue to whip on high speed until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is glossy.

4

Pipe it like it's hot

Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the meringue mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them like adorable little kisses.

5

Bake to perfection

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meringue kisses for about 1 hour. They should be dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment paper without sticking.
